- 📌 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 📌 3 large eggs
- 📌 1 cup light brown sugar
- 📌 1 cup light corn syrup
- 📌 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 📌 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 📌 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 📌 2 cups pecan halves, toasted
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Dr Pepper, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cooled, prepare the Dr Pepper frosting. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, Dr Pepper, and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cooled cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the frosting to set.
- Serve the Dr Pepper Cake chilled and enjoy the irresistible combination of flavors!
